reborn in america

Because they were worried about the situation of their mother, Catherine, neither Brett nor Michelle stayed in LA for a long time. They took Carol's car back the next day. In fact, Carol's idea was to stay with Adam. After all, this matter It was also a big blow to Adam.

But Adam said that in the future, all the time will be reserved for the script and the subsequent copyright negotiations, so there will not be much time to meet with Carol. Send it back, take a look at the mother's situation by the way, and then tell him.

After sending all three of them away, Adam was left alone in the whole LA, but Adam didn't have much time to feel sad, because he had arranged all the following things for himself on the way back from seeing him off, and ensured that he would In a short period of time, there will not be much energy to mourn the spring and the autumn.

And the trio of assistants, who knew nothing about this, were still happily resting, not knowing what kind of situation they would face in the following time.

From the next day, Adam increased the wages for overtime work, increasing the working hours of the four from the original ten hours to twelve hours, and he even arranged more than fourteen hours of working hours a day. It can be said that apart from the sleep time of only five or six hours a day, as well as trivial matters such as eating, drinking and washing, he hardly leaves any space for himself.

Perhaps people just need to be pushed. In this high-intensity work, the personal efficiency and the finished product are even better than they originally expected. In just one month, they completed all the remaining work. It's unbelievable.

However, when Adam looked at the nearly 140-page storyboard draft in his hand, it was shocking, of which more than [-] pages were in the next half a month. Shocked, not to mention that the picture quality is not inferior to the "Druid" comics that came out of their hands.

However, being able to complete this epic-level difficulty task is also due to the fact that Adam has already formed a picture in his mind, and he completed most of the frame and drafts of the entire storyboard draft, and several people are the kind The kind who are obedient, honest, and willing to work hard.

During this period of time, when Adam led several people to work hard to create storyboards, "Jurassic Park" continued to win the championship in the rankings of major novels, although there were many challenges from famous writers during this period, However, in the face of "Jurassic Park" which has amazed the sales volume of 30 to [-] per week, it still can only be regrettably placed at the bottom.

Among them, Dean Koontz, the hottest new-generation thriller writer in the United States, brought his new book "Hideway" to the market, hitting Adam's long-time champion, and finally challenged Adam with sales of less than 80 copies in the first week. It failed, and the novel sold close to [-] in the first month, which is quite amazing.

Then, another well-known best-selling novelist John Grisham came out in March with [thepelicanbrief], which is translated into Chinese as "The Pelican Assassination Order". The novel, as always, continues his rich court law. The content of the best-selling crime novels, and in March, "Jurassic Park", which had been the champion for ten weeks, finally showed signs of fatigue, defending its title in a thrilling manner with a weekly sales volume of less than [-] copies , and continued for a whole month. (But this defending is only in the New York Times. On other events such as Day, it took a slight lead and won a championship. Although the gap was widened again after the second week, it was enough to make some people happy .)

So far, this sci-fi super bestseller "Jurassic Park" has been published for more than four months, and has won the sales champion for 250 weeks.In the second, third and second months, "Jurassic Park", which experienced a series of challenges and defended its throne, increased the total sales volume to 600 million copies with a sales volume of 2000 million copies. The sales volume is under [-] million, and the publisher also set the final sales volume in North America at an astonishing number of [-] million.

Although "Jurassic Park" eventually surpassed the predicted sales of 80 with an astonishingly low rate of decline, and broke through the 600 and [-] levels ahead of schedule, it did not have much impact on Adam's plan.

After confirming that the storyboard draft in Adam's hands had been finalized, Tonares finally signaled to those eager Hollywood film companies that he was willing to discuss the copyright of the adaptation of the novel.

In order to win the adaptation copyright of this super best-selling book, Warner Bros., Tim Burton, Sony Pictures, Richard Donner, 20th Century Fox and New Line competed to make a move, and they gave what they thought was the most sincere offer. quote.

However, it was just what they thought was a sincere offer. For Adam, a writer who had nothing to do with Hollywood and was not famous for a long time, even though the novel was a super best-seller and there was a team of agents with outstanding abilities, they still did not ask them to give him an offer. Enough respect.

For example, Adam is the most optimistic, and it is also the film production company of the previous life novel - Warner Bros., because of its transcendent status in Hollywood, although it has expressed that it can offer the most attractive conditions, such as an investment of more than 5000 million, such as movie box office A 500% share, and a novel copyright fee of [-] million U.S. dollars.

But on the full copyright that Adam most wanted, he was not even willing to negotiate, which made Adam feel a strong sense of humiliation.

As for Sony, which was willing to share the full copyright with Adam, Adam excluded him from the circle of copyright transactions in the first place, just to gather the number of people and show that the competitors did not say anything.

However, it will not cooperate with Sony on copyright development, not because it is a Japanese company, or at least not only because of this. For Sony Columbia Pictures, which has just entered Hollywood, although it is the heir to Columbia's eighth position, it is in the initial purchase. As for the film company, it was tricked by the Hollywood collective, and it was a miserable loss. Then, with the rejection of the Hollywood collective and the incompetent cooperation of the company's management, Sony Columbia needs a lot of blood from the Sony headquarters every year to support it from going bankrupt.

As far as Ya knew in his current life, if it wasn't for the little spider's milk, it's hard to say whether Sony would be able to hold on in the end.After seeing the success of the adaptation of "X—Man", Sony Columbia Pictures made a smart move that was almost a little bit smart after entering Hollywood for so many years. It bought the copyright of Spider-Man from Marvel who had never recovered, and then It was adapted and released.

The movie "Spider-Man" became a big hit not only at the movie box office and in the disc market, but also in peripherals that made Sony a lot of money. The old spider and the new spider, a total of five movies, brought tens of billions of dollars to Sony. Profit in dollars, yes, you read that right.This lucrative business made Marvel so jealous that they couldn't sit still. They discussed the profit sharing with Sony several times, but unfortunately they gave away some small money. Who knew that they had no vision at the beginning and sold their trump card.

And this incident directly made Marvel collectively depressed, and thus became ruthless, betting all their belongings on the Iron Man, which led to the emergence of the Marvel universe. I have to say that everything in this world is really definite Without the disadvantages of the little spider, how can there be the scenery of the Marvel Universe behind?

However, although Sony has a little spider to give it milk, it was a pit in the entire 90s. Anyone can go to a super giant pit, and Sony is being bullied by Hollywood. I didn't dare to let it go, it was so useless, but there was no way who would let the soldiers of the American uncle be stationed in his home?

Therefore, facing the huge pit Sony, Adam would never throw his big gold mine down there.

Excluding Sony, only [-]th Century Fox is left as the three most interested in the Big Eight, but like Warner Bros., he can tolerate concessions on the movie box office and give a generous enough share, but for the full copyright, he is not Adam is absolutely not allowed to reach out.

Even, compared to Warner, [-]th Century Fox is even more greedy, and even proposed the filming copyright of the follow-up film sequel. After reaching an agreement, it will also belong to their company, so Adam can only give them a "hehe '.

Temporarily excluding the Big Eight, there are only some personal studios and small third- and fourth-tier companies. To be honest, Adam is not very interested in them. Although Tim Burton is very sincere and promises, If he is allowed to win the copyright, then he will direct it himself, but Adam is not very willing to do this.

This is not to question Tim Burton's directing ability. After all, in 1992, Tim Burton had won the recognition of the entire Hollywood with the box office of the movie "Batman" adapted from DC comics. Batman Returns will also be released in the summer in mid-June this year. According to those who have watched the finished film in advance, it will be another box office bomb, and will undoubtedly reap a double harvest of box office reputation.

But Adam felt that his style was rather creepy and gloomy. Although he would direct the filming of the "Jurassic Park" movie, there must be no problem, and there is no doubt that he would pay back and make money, but no matter the audience or the story, It will be very different from the movie in the previous life.

And Adam hated the result beyond his expectation, so even when the other party proposed the favorable condition that the two parties share all the copyrights, he still didn't let go and responded directly, but continued to deal with them with vague language.
